Holby City star 'horrified' to find disabled brother living in squalor as wife had affair
A Holby City star was horrified to find her disabled brother living in squalor after his wife had an affair with his carer.Tom Somerset-How, who has cerebral palsy, weighed less than seven stone when he was rescued from his ordeal by family members, including Holby City and Silent Witness actress Kate Somerset-Holmes. It came after his wife Sarah Somerset-How and his carer George Webb had an affair and neglected to look after him properly.The pair were said to have left Tom in his bed for days at a time and did not provide him with adequate food and water.They were also reportedly using Tom’s carer’s allowance and savings to pay for their own lifestyles.The 40 year old was “disorientated” and “very, very thin” when he was rescued by police, social services and his family after his sister tried to gain entry to his house several times, but was unable to see her brother, the court heard.
